Ok, got sidetracked putting a transmission in my truck but getting back at it now.
More goodies came in
My 9" third member, nodular housing, hd pinion support, billet bearing caps, Detroit locker, 3.82 gears. Used NASCAR take out with about 500 miles on it:
Got my tires in and mounted up too. 275/40/17 sumitomo's up front and 295/45/18 nitto 555's in the rear. Basically wanted to keep the tires about the same height as my old ones just with bigger rims. Side by side it worked out perfectly.
Now that I have my tires mounted up I can mock everything up and build the car to fit them
Started cutting my factory subframe yesterday but the plasma cutter decided to give me a hard time so I didn't get very far. Gonna try and make some progress tomorrow.
